Steps to Solve Expression with Fractions
Find the least common denominator so that all of the denominators match.
The least common denominator of 2 and 4 is 4
Find the multiple for each fraction that can be multiplied by the denominator to get the least common denominator.
Find the multiple by dividing the least common denominator by each fraction's denominator.
Fraction 1 Multiple: 4 ÷ 2 = 2
Fraction 2 Multiple: 4 ÷ 4 = 1
Multiply each fraction's numerator and denominator by the multiple.
1 × 2 / 2 × 2+3 × 1 / 4 × 1=2 / 4+3 / 4
Now that the denominators match, add the numerators
2 + 3 / 4=5 / 4
Reduce the fraction by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator.
GCF of 5 and 4 = 1
Divide the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (1).
5 ÷ 1 / 4 ÷ 1=5 / 4
Convert to a mixed fraction by finding the whole number and remainder.
5÷4=1R1
5 / 4=11 / 4
Find the decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
